What is it exactly that makes star a certain spectrum when it comes to visible light? Also considering that it's such a short part of the radiation spectrum to begin with. Our sun just happens to be of the yellow spectrum, but there are also different colour stars, and I don't know what gives each star their predetermined colour. Is it the temperature that determines the wavelength when it comes to visible light?
